- 1 - 专题强化练(三) 阅读理解之主旨大意题 Passage 1(2019·山东青岛高三模拟) If a family member blames you for something you have done, it is important to be careful about how you defend yourself.It is not a good idea to use ways that cause hurt, even if they would help you make a valid point.If you can think of an instance where the other person has done exactly what they accuse you of, for example, it would not be good manners to throw it in their face.You should only bring it up if you don't have a choice.Then, you should make sure that you do it respectfully. Even if a family member intentionally goes against reasonable wishes you may have, you should understand that people see even the most fundamental things in very different ways.Remember that people are different.If you consider any noise after midnight to be intolerable, for example, others may see it is completely acceptable.It can take them a great deal of time to change their behavior for a demand that they do not understand. Think about the family conflicts that you are worried about now.Check to see if your parents had similar problems.People who grow up with parents who fight unfairly often repeat the same behavior.Consider changing the unfair habits that you grew up with. Understand that memories tend to change.In long-standing family disputes, all parties involved tend to have completely different recollections of the original problem. Families are a curious concept—while family members often feel nothing but annoyed for one another, they will also often be there for them if they should ever be in serious trouble.When you feel - 2 -

1．解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If you can think of an instance where the other person has done exactly what they accuse you of, for example, it would not be good manners to throw it in their face.”(比如，如果家庭成员指责你不应该这样做，而你却回想到他/她以前也这么做过，这时候讲出这件事打他们的脸则是不礼貌的做法。)可以推断出，我们要就事论事，不针对个人。故选B。 答案：B 2．解析：词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“...while family members often feel nothing but annoyed for one another, they will also often be there for them if they should ever be in serious trouble.”中的annoyed提示，和后句“think about how far you would go for them if they happened to be in trouble.It could help soften you.”(请想一想：如果他/她陷入麻烦，你会怎么做？这会让你缓和对他/她的态度)，从而可以猜测出resentment为“怨恨”之意。故选D。 答案：D 3．解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段“People who grow up with parents who fight unfairly often repeat the same behavior.”可知，如果父母总是争吵，在这种情况下成长的人往往也会重复同样的行为。从而可以推断，父母应该在家庭中树立一个好榜样。故选B。 答案：B 4．解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If a family member blames you for something you have done, it is important to be careful about how you defend yourself.”和全文内容可知，文章主要介绍如何明智地解决家庭冲突，故选C。 答案：C Passage 2(2018·全国卷Ⅰ，B篇) - 4 -
Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role—showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.

2020届高考英语二轮专题检测精品练习 阅读理解(3)
2015届高考英语二轮专题检测精品练习：阅读理解（3）AWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150，so at 40, you're not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says，“ You shouldn't drink that！” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed，” says scientist Andrew Zolli ，“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.”The Internet is one example—what will be the next?72. We can learn from the text that in the future ________.A. people will never get oldB. everyone will look the sameC. red will be the most popular colorD. clothes will be able to change their pattern73. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Milk will be harmful to health.B. More drinks will be available for sale.C. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.D.

Medical treatments of the future.D. The reason for the success of new technology.B（2013四川卷）Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we ran rememberpain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.43. Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"(Paragraph 3)?A. It is her favorite place to play.B. Her needs can be satisfied there.C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.D. Her parents always play together with her there.44. What can be learned from the passage?A. The old furniture is still in the author's fist bedroom.B. The author can still visit her first physical mome in Los Angeles.C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room.D. Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes.45. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______.A. Open the window at nightB. lie down in bed to have a dreamC. try to bring back a sense of homeD. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom46. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B. To declare how much she loves her first house.C. To describe the state of her family.D. To look back on her childhood.CI wasn’t surprised when I read that actress Helen Hunt recently stated that she would never allow her young daughter to become a child star. Ms Hunt is the daughter of a Hollywood technical director, and grew up in Hollywood. Now in her late 40s, she started acting and modeling when she was eight and has probably seen a lot over those years in show business.She has had a successful career. She earned four Golden Globes and four Emmys. She also attained the top honor of her profession when she won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in the 1992 movie, As Good As It Gets. Given those accolades, Ms Hunt is successful. There is no doubt that her early experiences as a child star prepared her for what has been an outstanding adult career. Given those achievements, why would this star declare she’ll never allow her daughter, now at the age of six, to follow in her footsteps?Everyone familiar with the entertainment scene is aware of the reasons for her attitude. Recent tabloid (小报) news headlines featuring the troubles of former child stars, among them Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and the late Gary Coleman, may answer the question. Although Ms Hunt managed to become a successful grown-up star, she apparently believes she’s an exception.What Ms Hunt may be suggesting is that many very young stars go through unnatural childhoods on movie and TV sets. While they’re earning big incomes, they’re so pampered (纵容) by directors and praised by fans; they may get false impressions that their lives will always be that way. Then, within a few years, when faced with reality, they’re hurt and confused. After all the overwhelming affection, they find they can’t deal with the problems. That’s often when drugs and alcohol take over their lives.Helen Hunt has some other reasons why she doesn’t want her daughter to be in the entertainment business. Many child stars can never make a successful transition to meaningful adulthood. However, as with many Hollywood movies, I believe there are both good and bad scenes about how it can be played out in real life.26. According to the passage, Ms Hunt _________.A. started acting and modeling when she was a little girlB. has been acting for about 30 yearsC. is the daughter of a famous actorD. started singing when she was eight27. The underlined word “accolades” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.A. difficultiesB. awardsC. salariesD. opinions28. The author thinks Helen Hunt’s success is mainly due to _________.A. her hard workB. the help of a technical directorC. her experiences as a child starD. her talent and good luck29. Helen Hunt wouldn’t allow her daughter to become a child star because she thinks _________.A. child stars often take drugs and alcoholB. being a child star may ruin her futureC. child stars aren’t able to solve their problemsD. it is difficult to succeed as a child actor30. From the passage we can conclude that _________.A. few child stars will succeed in the futureB. there is no way to save the entertainment businessC. the author has a different opinion about child starsD. meaningful adulthood only belongs to non-child starsDBelow is a housing guide for students going to London.C. Their website is designed mainly for students.D. There are some good bargains.46. A good agent can help you ____.A. know more peopleB. find cheap accommodationC. get the right accommodation quicklyD. get free information about most accommodations47. The information passed on by word of mouth is important because____.A. it is better than that found through any other sourceB. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertisedC. the final year students always offer better informationD. the landlords have little valuable information48. For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information?A. University accommodation offices.B. Loot and RentingC. Noticeboards.D.

B Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills. Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition (认知) after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said. The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age. “The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转 )and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement. The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higherincome parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls. The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.

强化训练一Heatwaves Are Perils for Public Transit Users: What Transit Systems and Riders Can Do?Bet you're feeling this intense heat. So are many of the roughly one in 10 who ride public transportation daily. In 2021, extreme heat damaged Portland's streetcar wires and deformed Seattle's roadways, triggering a sudden stop of service as the extreme temperatures can bend tracks and lead the street car off the track. Theheatwaves also had an impact on transit agencies in central Texas, Oklahoma and even New York City.Increasingly, more transport planners find it essential to take action to deal with critical weather events for their riders' safety. City policymakers and planners are developing and adopting climate-sensitive design for public transit stops and transportation, from buses to trains. Some cities, such as Las Vegas, have raised awareness of the dangers of extreme temperatures to their transit riders. Some cities have modified its transit service schedule as part of its “beat the heat” initiative, and others are rerouting buses to reduce wait times and passengers' exposure to the heat.Meanwhile, more cities set out to build new physical infrastructure. More specifically, they cool pavements on transit routes and transit station roofs via higher solar reflection to lower surface temperatures; shade main walking and cycling routes to public transportation; use low-energy ventilation (通风) systems on buses and metro trains; paint buses white and tint windows to shade off the sun; install thermometers inside buses and trains for riders to monitor temperatures; and install drinking fountains in public spaces.Further studies and researches are also conducted to relieve the stress. For example, in heat-stricken Austin, Texas, in 2019, two researchers from University of Texas studied transit ridership and concluded that tree planting at bus stops can prove more effective than bus shelters because trees slow down climate change. In Portland, misting systems that remained open through the night serves as a method of cooling off.In general, city planners attempt to balance between operation transportation systems and net-zero carbon emission in such heatwaves. As for riders, they can stay hydrated, use a handheld fan, choose light and airy clothes, travel when it's cooler, and avoid needless trips.【原创】What does the passage mainly talk about?A．How to secure riders' safety in the heatwaves.B．How to build new physical infrastructure.C．How to reduce the climate threat to transportation.D．How to relieve heat stress for Transit Systems and Riders.[答案] A[精读外刊积累语料]词块必背intense adj.强烈的★roughly ad v.大约；差不多deform v.使变形★trigger v. 触发；引起extreme adj. 极端的★have an impact on... 对……有影响★critical adj. 严重的raise awareness 增强意识★modify v. 修改，改进initiative n. 倡议reroute v. 改变路线infrastructure n. 基础设施specifically ad v. 具体来说reflection n. 反射tint v. 为……轻微染色install v. 安装monitor v. 监测mist v. 喷雾attempt v. 尝试needless adj. 不必要的熟词生义fountain 熟义：n.喷泉生义：n.喷泉式饮水机句法解密[译文]2021年，极端高温损坏了波特兰的有轨电车线路，使西雅图的道路变形，引发服务突然停止，因为极端高温会使轨道弯曲，导致电车脱轨。

She even showed off a robot game that her dad gave her.It wasn't long before Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, replied with his own letter on Google website. In a letter dated Feb. 3, Pichai wrote, “Dear Chloe, I'm glad that you like computers and robots, and hope that you will continue to learn about technology. I think if you keep working hard and follow your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to. I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school！”Her father, Andy Bridgewater told ABC News he was completely shocked that his daughter received a reply. But he wasn't surprised that she decided to write the letter in the first place. “She's got determination. She doesn't see the barriers that we face every day，” he explained. “If she wants to do it, she will set out to do it and nothing will stop her.”The father remarked that his daughter began jumping up and down after receiving the letter. Still, he's not in a rush to send his eldest daughter off to work. “Now, my daughter is confident, although she hasn't yet fully understood that it will take more efforts than finishing her study to make it with Google，” he said.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，七岁女孩Chloe Bridgewater给谷歌CEO Sundar Pichai写信，没想到却收到了Sundar的回信。

2025届高考英语二轮专题复习与测试专题强化练三推理判断题__观点态度类
专题强化练(三) 推理推断题——观点看法类A(2024·广州市高三调研测试)Our planet quakes thousands of times a year，but we still can't predict exactly when and where earthquakes will strike.What if animals' odd behaviors could warn us?Researchers have reviewed hundreds of reports on prepacked abnormal animal behaviors，but more were just anecdotes．Geologist Jim Berkland counted newspaper ads looking for runaway cats and dogs.On October 13，1989，he told a newspaper reporter a big quake would strike in a week.Four days later，the Loma Prieta earthquake hit! But the scientific community still rejected Berkland's theory.He didn't document every prediction，so nobody could measure his accuracy rate.Actual scientific evidence has to be repeatable.And a connection between a cause and an effect has to be shown to be stronger than random chance through careful experimentation and data collection.California researchers in the 1970s happened to have built controlled habitats to monitor the wheelrunning activity of pocket mice.These habitats happened to be in an active earthquake area.Then the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake struck nearby.The researchers checked their data and found no big changes in how long the animals ran in their wheels or stayed underground before the earthquake activity.What might the next experiment show?Researchers from 150 universities worldwide are working on a new study called the ICARUS project.The project tracks many small animal species such as birds，bats，and turtles for the purpose of scientific research.One group of researchers are looking for possible connections between animal behaviors and earthquakes.If they find a reliable connection，this could save hundreds of thousands of human lives.ICARUS aims to power an app that will give people hours to get to safety.However，not everyone is hopeful.Geologist Wendy Bohon said that ICARUS is doing some “cool things”，but she knows animal behaviors are hard to pin down.“My cat could act crazy before an earthquake，”she says.“But it also acts crazy if somebody uses the can opener.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。
